Lionel Messi's arrival in Brazil is complete.

It took just over an hour for Messi to score his first goal of the 2014 World Cup and give his nation a 2-0 lead over Bosnia-Herzegovina, sending Argentina supporters into a frenzy.

Messi started the drive, working a beautiful one-two pass with substitute Gonzalo Higuaín who provided a beautifully weighted back-heel pass the Argentine sniper. Messi worked his way across the top of his opponents' 18-yard box, creating just enough space to to drill a low shot off the far post and behind keeper Asmir Begovic.
